Season of smog begins with air quality index near worst possible level of 500 and little apparent progress in controlling annual poisonous blight on life
Makes sense, I’d never even heard of AQI hitting 999 before; it would be crazy if it were a more consistent thing there. Still crazy to think about ~200 being the norm when you’re not even supposed to walk outside at that level, according to WHO an CDC. It’s apparently as low as 100-150 that exercise becomes bad for you rather than improving fitness based just on how much more air you have to breathe.
Yep. This pretty much happens every year. Oct to November.
Pollution is a huge problem in this country. Few take it seriously because for most people, life here is all about earning enough to eat and make it to tomorrow.
